The answer is rounded to the nearest tenth.
27ft³=x tons
1ft³=0.5 tons
Cross multiply
1x=13.5tons
x=13.5tons
So one scoop/load carries 13.5 tons of sand. Lets see how many 120 loads can carry.
13.5tons*120loads=1620 tons of sand
Now lets see how freight cars it would take to hold 1620 tons of sand
1620/40=40.5 freight cars
Since you can't have .5 of a freight car, lets round 40.5 up to 41
Answer=41 freight cars

Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
4x + 6y < 120 inequalities that can be paired with x + y ≥ 20 to create a system that represents the given situation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A small rug requires 4 hours for dyeing and a medium-size rug requires 6 hours for dyeing. The dyers have to make at least 20 rugs, and they must do it in less than 120 hours.
We have write an inequalities that can be paired with x + y ≥ 20 to create a system that represents the given situation and choose the correct option from given options.
Let x represents the small rugs and y represents the medium rugs.
Also, x + y ≥ 20 represents the dyers have to make at least 20 rugs.
And it is given that a small rug requires 4 hours for dyeing and a medium-size rug requires 6 hours for dyeing and that they must do it in less than 120 hours.
So, time taken to dye x small rugs = 4x
also, time taken to dye y medium rugs = 6y
And they have maximum of 120 hours.
So this inequality is represented by 4x + 6y < 120
The answer is: 4x + 6y < 120

Complete question :
A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?
1) 2 1/2 feet
2) 3 feet
4) 5 feet
5) 8 1/2 feet
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for X in the perimeter equation :
2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74
Open the bracket
2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74
2(27 + 4x) = 74
54 + 8x = 74
8x = 74 - 54
8x = 20
x = 20/8
x = 2.5
Hence, width fo border = 2.5
